Long description:

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of historical and recent research, with a critical review of several aspects of the flyrock phenomenon, along with classification of pertinent literature. This puts flyrock into proper perspective and develops a comprehensive regime for flyrock prediction and control. It also addresses the blast danger zone demarcation based on scientific understanding in comparison to the consequence-based approach supported by pertinent case studies.

Features:

• Discusses exclusive material on flyrock in surface mining


• Presents comprehensive and critical review of the flyrock phenomenon


• Reviews prediction and control mechanisms in vogue with scientific and risk-based definitions of blast danger zone


• Provides new insights into the flyrock definitions, prediction, and prevention along with the research approach to the problem


• Includes Indian case studies and summarize global data available in the published domain

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mining and civil engineering, engineering geology, and blasting.
